I dig houses, but I'm not a particularly artistic-minded type, so I don't figure my opinpoin amounts to a whole bunch, but it seems like the magazines and the websites are chock full of the same boring square boxes. It's as if architects and builders learned how to span about 32 feet or so with a mostly flat roof, and everything became an exercise in how to stack boxes, make as many walls as possible out of glass, and minimize everything else.

The permanence of old stone is really impressive and I gravitate to old homes in general but a lot of contemporary designs are neat. I'd say a mashup between the two would suck if proposed but thought this one was well done. Article.

^wait where do you live?
bc I love love old homes and one weird thing about living in the west is that the homes are way more "new"
my grandparents home in VT that they lived in was built in the 1800's?!
there are some more random homesteads in the west that are old cabins but not the same as new england where sh*t is oooollldd
